Hi
Thanks for writing in
Usually there are no major side effects but the known ones are those which are common with any vaccine, to enumerate few : fatigue, pain at injection site, and tenderness at injection site, pruritus, fever, dizziness, headache, vertigo, inflammation at injection site, swelling at injection site, induration etc
I do not know if the forum allows promoting a particular brand but with our expereince Engerix B is time tested and widely used, others like
Enivac-HB, Genevac-B are also widely used

Thanks for the answer. I am planning to go for Genevac-B. Is there any precaution I have to take before and after vaccine.
To give you background my company tied up with an hospital and they are giving paid vaccine for HBV and when I enquired they said its genavac-b so I wanted to know if this is good vaccine.
Also my parents have HCV so I am planning to go for vaccine.
